Dawkins expects pay cut; Royal says he’s 100%

This is the closest we've come to talking about real football news in months now; S Brian Dawkins told Mike Klis today that he expects to end up with a restructured deal with the Broncos which will pay him less than the $6 million he's due in 2011. Dawkins even went so far as to say that he and his agent have expected such a scenario since he first signed his free-agent deal with Denver prior to the 2009 season.

Klis also spoke with WR Eddie Royal and RB Knowshon Moreno today; Royal says he's already fully recovered from the February operation on his hip. Meanwhile, Moreno is apparently down to 200 lbs, around 10 lbs less than his prior playing weight with Denver. Perhaps this weight loss could result in more of the explosiveness we've been waiting to see out of Knowshon since the Broncos selected him 12th overall in the 2009 Draft.

I think Dawkins should expect a cut. I am not convinced &#8220pay&#8221 is necessarily part of it.

I have often listened to Dave Logan and Brian Griese while watching the game via cbs. Much more enlightening than the guys from cbs. And you get every game in the NFL.

@rig

nfl.com/fieldpass is the full radio broadcast of the games. For someone like me who lives so far out of market it is sad, and refuses to spend $300 for DirectTV, it lets me listen to Dave Logan and company live during the games. It also lets you listen to the games after they have happened.

Woody Paige just looks sillier by the moment. Sure sounds like Knowshon Moreno hasn&#8217t been working hard this offseason. Nice due diligence, Woody.
